Learn how to become cardio-fit in 15 minutes a day! A heart rate monitor is not mandatory, but using one will get you better results in this class. Heart rate monitors help you understand your heart and how to train it, and the best style of monitor is the one that comes with the chest strap and wrist watch. The selection on my website I personally recommend. The stretch portion of our class, will be a series of stretches lasting 30 to 60 seconds. Static stretching with 30-60 second hold times.
